We are excited to announce that the UPHPU is now 100 members strong! Congratulations to webdz9r, who has just registered as our latest member, giving us this much anticipated milestone. He/she will be receiving a free copy of a book from our library to commemorate this event.Thanks to all of our members and participants. We are glad to have you here and look forward to continuing our growth. We know that the UPHPU is going to continue to become a stronger and more effective resource to our community.
Pardon a small note regarding user accounts on our website. We have a handful of accounts that appear to be inactive. The user has never logged in and (therefore) has not personalized their profile. We imagine that a few of these could be users that made a error when registering and left an artifact when re-registering, since the ability to delete one’s account was not originally available. We also were not originally moderating the registration process and suspect that a few accounts might be from the bots that left us the poetry last week.
To assist us in verifying active accounts, we would like to ask each user that has not logged in since registering or has not added their full name to your profile, to please take a moment to log in and do such. If these inactive accounts remain unused they will be purged.
Thanks for your help. We hope that you are finding the website useful.
Thanks to everyone that has been involved in our quest to find the most convenient meeting location and schedule. A lot of footwork and strenuous thinking has been be exerted in an attempt find the best solution.
In addition to the work that David is doing to secure a location for our June meeting, we are also looking for a possible permanent SL valley location, as part of the options we are investigating. We know that it is impossible for us to pamper every member, but we would like to try.
It is time, however, to bring this issue to a close. So, we have narrowed down our decision to two options…
…one of which will be implemented by our July meeting.
Because of the increase in membership of individuals that live North of the Point of the Mountain, it was decided at our May meeting that we would ‘test the waters’ and hold this month’s meeting further North.
Things have continued to progress since then though and in addition to this information, feedback from the poll we took a little while back, and additional increases in membership the past few weeks (we are 61 registered members strong now with 81 on the mailing list) we are leaning more and more towards the idea that two meetings, one in each valley (Salt Lake and Utah), will offer the best opportunities for attendance from the group. The only foreseeable drawbacks are having to find two presenters every thirty days. It will be well worth our time and efforts however if we have enough interest and participation.
So, please cast your vote and if you have any connections to a location that is very near I-15 and in the middle of Salt Lake Valley, please send a note to our Events Manager, Dave Turnbull.
We are pleased to announce our volunteers for the rest of the year. Since there was only one candidate for each position, the actual election portion has been cancelled. We would like to thank the volunteers for offering their service to the group.
Please see ‘about us‘ for their names and links to their profiles.
With the launch of our new website comes many new features that will allow us to better communicate and collaborate. Administration, members, and visitors now have the opportunity to submit and publish articles, reviews, news, links, and announcements through the website. This will allow us to limit the amount of traffic that we will need to use on the mailing list for group business and announcements; leaving it open for what it is intended for: the discussion of PHP, web development, and what we’re working on.
Some of these news features include…
We have added a new section for publishing reviews of books, articles, manuals, and other publications.
Many of you have been asking for a medium to publish articles that you have written or want to write. There is now a section for articles. Have fun.
UPHPU is now offering syndication of our events and stories (news and announcements). Subscribe here.
Hey, all, hope you like the new site. We are glad that we were able to find a CMS that we were happy with. This should get the job done.
We are in the process of porting your accounts over to the new site. Once we are finished, you should be able to log in with your same username and password.
